More than 10,000 SCE customers still without power Tuesday

As of 9 a.m. Tuesday, about 10,060 Southern California Edison customers were still without power following last Wednesday and Thursday's fierce windstorm that downed more than a hundred power poles, a Southern California Edison spokesman said.

Most of the SCE customers without power are located in the San Gabriel Valley. They include customers in Altadena, Arcadia, La Canada Flintridge, Monrovia, South Pasadena, San Gabriel and Temple City.

"We hope to have everyone restored within 24 hours but some areas do require more extensive repairs so they may take longer," spokesman Charlie Coleman said Tuesday morning.

"We're trying to do it as quickly and safely as possible."

With the uprooting thousands of tress, obtaining access to equipment has been an issue throughout the region, Coleman said.
